PREFACE 

In  certain  cases  the  Marriage  Licence  Act  Books  for  the  period 
covered  by  this  volume  only  give  the  names  (and  sometimes- 
only  the  surnames)  of  the  recipients  of  the  licences.  Owing 
to  difficulties  arising  out  of  the  war  it  has  not  been  possible  tO' 
ampHfy  such  bare  entries  by  reference  to  the  bundles  of  Marriage- 
Licence  Bonds.  It  is  desirable  to  draw  the  attention  of  members 
to  the  fact  that  such  reference  will  no  doubt  be  again  possible  in 
the  near  future  upon  application  to  the  Diocesan  Registrar  and 
payment  of  the  customary  fees. 

For  the  convenience  of  readers  the  details  are  here  repeated 
of  the  Marriage  Licence  Act  Books  and  Bonds  now  remaining  in 
the  Diocesan  Registry  at  Chester.

^  The  entries  at  the  end  of  this  volume  following  the  entry  of  licence  (John 
Baxter  and  Dorothy  Brooke)  on  the  27th  June  1642,  and  extending  to 
2ist  October  1644,  appear  to  have  been  irregularly  entered,  and  probably 
do  not  include  all  the  licences  issued  for  this  period.

From  this  date  it  became  the  custom  to  enter  up  the  licences 
in  the  Act  Books  as  and  when  the  affidavits  were  returned  into 
the  Registry  by  the  Surrogates.     The  dates  therefore  overlap  a 
good  deal;  this  is  especially  the  case  between  the  dates  1733 
and  1772.

The  documents  at  Chester  only  relate  to  licences  affecting 
residents  within  the  ancient  Archdeaconry  of  Chester,  i.e. 
all  Cheshire,  Lancashire  south  of  the  Ribble,  and  the 
Welsh  parishes  of  Bangor  Deanery.  The  licences  for  the 
Archdeaconry  of  Richmond  are  at  Lancaster.

RECORD  SOCIETY  OF  LANCASHIRE 
AND    CHESHIRE 

REPORT  FOR  THE  YEAR  1915-16  (38TH  Year) 


Read  at  the  Annual  Meeting  held  in  the  Audit  Room  of  the  Chetham 
Hospital,  Manchester,  on  the  12th  day  of  December  igi6. 


During  the  year  ending  30th  June  1916  one  volume  (vol.  70.) 
has  been  issued  to  the  Members  ;  it  is  entitled  '  Lancashire  In- 
quests, Extents,  and  Feudal  Aids.  Part  IIL  a.d.  1313-A.D. 
1355,'  and  is  edited  by  William  Farrer,  Hon.  D.Litt.  As  in 
the  cases  of  the  previous  volumes  which  have  been  edited  by 
Dr.  Farrer,  the  transcript  and  index  of  the  present  one  are  gifts 
by  him  to  the  Society,  and  this  volume  contains  historical  matter 
of  equal  interest  and  value  with  the  former  ones. 

Owing  to  the  death  of  Canon  Stanning  and  the  illness  of 
Mr,  Pink,  who  were  editing  the  '  Royalist  Composition  Papers,' 
there  has  been  a  long  delay  in  the  issue  of  the  fifth  volume  of 
this  work.  A  portion  of  the  volume  has  been  in  type  for  some 
years,  and  it  was  decided  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Society 
to  proceed  with  the  editing  of  it  as  speedily  as  possible.  The 
Council  not  being  successful  in  finding  an  editor  to  perform  the 
work  voluntarily,  Mr.  Brownbill  undertook  it  as  a  professional 
matter  ;  and,  since  the  rules  of  the  Society  forbid  any  payment 
to  be  made  for  editing,  a  fund  was  raised  by  donations  from 
some  members  of  the  Council  to  provide  for  the  cost  of  the 
editorial  work.  This  fund  has  been  placed  to  a  separate  account. 
The  whole  of  the  volume  is  in  type,  with  the  exception  of  the 
index,  and  it  will  be  issued  to  the  Members  as  the  second  volume 
for  the  year  1916-17. 

Mr.  Brownbill  has  completed  the  editing  of  the  '  Lancaster 
Marriage  Licence  Bonds,  1648-1710,'  from  the  original  bonds 
which  remain  at  Lancaster,  and  this  work  is  now  ready  for  the 
press.  Many  of  these  bonds  have  suffered  from  damp  and  are 
in  a  bad  condition  ;  the  Society  is  indebted  to  Mr.  Brownbill  for 
his  careful  performance  of  a  tedious  task,  by  means  of  which 
particulars  of  these  records  have  been  preserved. 

Mr.  Irvine  has  in  hand  a  volume  of  the  '  Marriage  Licences 
for  Cheshire,  South  Lancashire,  &c.,'  covering  the  period  from 
1680  to  1686.  This  is  the  seventh  volume  of  this  series  of 
Marriage  Licences  that  Mr.  Irvine  has  edited  for  the  Society,  and 


iv  REPORT   OF  THE   SOCIETY 

the  Council  desire  to  express  their  appreciation  of  his  help  at  a 
time  when  there  are  other  and  more  important  claims  on  him. 
This  volume  is  practically  complete  and  ready  for  the  press. 

Mr.  Stewart-Brown  continues  his  military  service,  and  the 
duties  of  the  Honorary  Secretary  have  been  carried  on  by  the 
President. 

The  Council  record  with  regret  the  deaths  of  the  Rev.  John 
Sephton,  Mr.  George  Massey,  General  Pemberton,  Mr.  Isaac 
Marshall,  and  Mr.  G.  E.  C.  Clayton. 

The  Society  is  still  suffering  from  the  effects  of  the  War  ; 
we  have  not  had  a  single  new  name  to  add  to  the  list  of  members 
■during  the  year  ending  30th  June  igi6,  and  in  the  same  period 
there  have  been  ten  deaths  and  resignations  ;  the  number  of 
paying  members,  including  public  libraries,  then  stood  at  128. 

The  Honorary  Treasurer's  accounts  show  a  balance  in  hand 
on  30th  June  1916  of  £102,  9s.  5d. 


REPORT  FOR  THE  YEAR  1916-17  (3qth  Year) 

Read  at  the  Annual  Meeting  held  at  the  Chetham  Hospital,  Man- 
chester, on  the  14th  day  of  November  1917. 


During  the  year  ending  30th  June  1917  two  volumes  (vols. 
71  and  72)  have  been  issued  to  the  Members.  These  are  (i), 
'  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  Cases  in  the  Court  of  Star  Chamber,' 
edited  by  Ronald  Stewart-Brown,  M.A.,  F.S.A.,  and  (2),  'The 
Royalist  Composition  Papers,  a.d.  1643-1660,  so  far  as  they 
relate  to  the  County  of  Lancaster.  Vol.  V.  P  to  R,'  edited  by 
John  Brownbill,  M.A. 

Captain  Stewart-Brown  has  completed  his  work  under  difficul- 
ties in  the  midst  of  military  duties,  and  the  thanks  of  the  Members 
are  due  to  him  for  his  loyal  service  to  the  Society  under  very 
untoward  circumstances.  This  volume  contains  references  to 
many  curious  incidents  that  will  attract  most  readers,  even 
those  who  are  not  especially  interested  in  archaeology  or  history. 

Mr.  Brownbill  has  added  to  his  volume  an  Appendix  con- 
taining a  comparison  of  the  Society's  volumes  of  the  Royalist 
Composition  Papers  with  the  Record  Office  Calendar,  which 
gives  many  additional  references.  In  the  concluding  volume 
of  this  series  the  results  of  this  comparison  will  be  stated  in 
the  body  of  the  work. 

Among  the  prospective  publications,  in  addition  to  (i)  the 
final  volume  of  the  Royalist  Composition  Papers,  we  have  (2) 
the  '  Lancaster  Marriage  Licence  Bonds,  1648  to  1710,'  to  be 
edited  by  Mr.  Brownbill  ;  (3)  the  '  Marriage  Licences  for 
Cheshire,  South  Lancashire,  &c.,  1680  to  1686,'  to  be  edited  by 


REPORT   OF   THE   SOCIETY  v 

Mr.  Irvine  ;  (4)  another  volume  of  the  same,  to  be  edited  by 
Mr.  Irvine  ;  and  (5)  '  Abstracts  of  the  Storrs  Hall  Deeds/  to 
be  edited  by  Colonel  Chippindall.  Dr.  Farrer  will  also  place 
at  the  disposal  of  the  Council  materials  for  other  volumes,  selected 
from  his  collections  of  Lancashire  Manuscripts. 

Captain  Stewart-Brown  continues  his  military  service, 
and  the  duties  of  the  Honorary  Secretary  have  been  carried 
on  by  the  President. 

The  Council  record  with  regret  the  deaths  of  Mr,  Henry  Rigg 
and  Mr.  H.  H.  Smith-Carington. 

The  Society  still  suffers  from  the  effects  of  the  War  ;  this 
year,  however,  it  is  satisfactory  to  report  the  accession  of  two 
new  members.  The  deaths  and  resignations  in  the  same  period 
have  amounted  to  six,  and  the  number  of  paying  members  now 
stands  at  126. 

The  Honorary  Treasurer's  accounts  show  a  balance  in  hand 
on  the  30th  June  1917  of  £153,  8s.  5d. 


REPORT  FOR  THE  YEAR  1917-18  (40TH  Year) 

Read    at   the   Annual  Meeting  held  at  the  Athenceiim  Library, 
Church  Street,  Liverpool,  on  the  2gth  November  igiS. 


During  the  year  ending  30th  June  1918  no  volume  has  been 
issued  to  the  Members,  but  the  printing  has  been  completed 
of  a  further  volume  of  Marriage  Licences  for  Cheshire,  South 
Lancashire,  &c.,  1680-1690,  edited  by  W.  Fergusson  Irvine, 
M.A.,  F.S.A.  This  will  be  the  seventh  of  this  series  of  Marriage 
Licences  edited  by  Mr.  Irvine,  and  will  form  Volume  73  of  the 
Society's  publications. 

At  the  Annual  Meeting,  held  on  the  14th  of  November  191 7, 
it  was  decided  that  it  should  be  left  to  the  discretion  of  the 
President  whether  one  or  two  volumes  should  be  issued  for  the 
year  1917-18,  and  under  the  present  circumstances,  owing  to  the 
expense  of  printing  and  binding,  the  President  considers  that 
only  one  volume  should  be  issued  for  the  past  year,  viz.  the 
volume  of  Marriage  Licences  mentioned  above,  which  it  is  hoped 
will  be  issued  to  the  Members  in  a  few  weeks. 

Future  volumes  will  be  (i)  the  Marriage  Licence  Bonds  at 
Lancaster,  and  (2)  the  final  volume  of  Lancashire  Royalist 
Composition  Papers.  Other  works  suggested  include  the  Cheshire 
Protestation  of  1642,  a  volume  of  Lancashire  documents  offered 
by  Dr.  Farrer,  the  Storrs  Hall  and  Blundell  of  Crosby  evidences, 
and  a  further  volume  of  Star  Chamber  Cases. 

Considerable  interest  has  been  taken  in  Vol.  71  (Lancashire 
and  Cheshire  Star  Chamber  Proceedings)  in  the  United  States  of 
America,   where   nearly    twenty    hbraries    or    institutions    are 


vi  REPORT   OF   THE   SOCIETY 

members.    The  Society  has  benefited  by  the  sale  of  fifteen  copies 
to  booksellers  in  New  York. 

Mr.  William  Farrer,  D.Litt.,  and  ]\Ir.  W.  F.  Irvine,  M.A., 
F.S.A.,  have  been  elected  Vice-Presidents  of  the  Society. 

Capt.  Stewart-Brown  has  been  demobilised  from  military 
service,  and  has  again  taken  up  the  duties  of  Hon.  Secretary, 
which  had  been  carried  on,  during  his  three  years  of  absence,  by 
the  President.  The  Council  feel  that  the  Members  are  greatly 
indebted  to  the  President  and  to  the  Hon.  Treasurer  for  enabling 
the  work  of  the  Society  to  be  continued  throughout  the  \\'ar. 

The  Council  regret  to  record  the  death  on  8th  November 
1918  of  Sir  George  J.  Armytage,  Bt.,  D.L.,  F.S.A.,  who  joined 
the  Council  in  1898,  was  a  Vice-President  from  1902,  and  Presi- 
dent 1905-1909.  He  was  joint  editor  with  Mr.  J.  Paul  Rylands 
of  the  Visitation  of  Cheshire,  1613  (vol.  58). 

During  the  year  there  have  been  no  deaths  or  resignations  of 
members,  and  no  new  members.  The  number  of  paying  members 
still  stands  at  126. 

The  Society  has  now  completed  forty  years  of  work,  and  has 
issued  seventy-two  volumes  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  records, 
in  spite  of  very  inadequate  support.  It  is  discreditable  that 
there  are  only  fifty  private  subscribers  (other  than  libraries, 
&c.)  in  the  two  counties  upon  the  list  of  Members.  Unless 
much  better  supported,  the  Society  must  be  forced  shortly  to 
reduce  its  publications  permanently  to  one  volume  a  year,  or 
even  less.  The  Council  therefore  appeal  strongly  to  members 
to  make  known  the  value  and  importance  of  the  Society's  work, 
and  to  do  all  they  can  to  obtain  that  additional  support,  without 
which  transcripts  of  the  many  important  unpubUshed  Lanca- 
shire and  Cheshire  records  cannot  be  obtained  or  printed.  The 
Council  hope,  now  that  the  War  is  over,  that  a  renewed  interest 
may  be  taken  in  the  local  history  and  family  records  of  the  two 
counties. 

The  Hon.  Treasurer's  Accounts  show  a  balance  in  hand,  on 
the  30th  June  1918,  of  £285,  6s.  lod.,  against  which  must  be 
charged  the  cost  of  Volume  73  now  in  print,  but  not  issued. 

A  few  sets  of  the  Society's  Publications  are  still  on  hand. 
Members  can  obtain  the  price  of  sets  or  of  single  volumes  by 
applying  to  the  Honorary  Secretary. 

The  following  is  a  complete  list  of  the  Society's  Publications 
printed  up  to  the  present  time  : —
